The executor(s) of the will can handle the party wall agreement, not the beneficiaries, so you'll need to work out if that's one or more of the sons or a solicitor or someone else. You may well be right that they don't want to as it's hassle and a potential offput for buyers, you'll just have to chat them up.
Bloody inconsiderate timing of the neighbour TBH.

Sadly but not completely unexpectedly the adjoining neighbour of our semi passed away last week. We've only owned the house for a couple of months but are on good speaking terms with the owners three sons. We were just about to serve a party wall agreement for a modest ground floor extension which they were all happy for us to undertake but now we're not sure who has the legal authority to sign it, all the beneficiaries from the will?
They are also looking to sell as soon as possible, even with probate to deal with and my fear is that they won't want to deal with us in case it impacts the sale.
Any advice while I wait for our soliciter to get back from the fucking golf in Augusta?
